After Ghulam Nabi Azad launched an attack on Rahul Gandhi and his coterie, Congress hit back.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday said, “A man who has been treated with the greatest respect by the Congress leadership has betrayed it by his vicious personal attacks which reveals his true character. GNA’s DNA has been modified.”
Earlier, after the resignation of veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Congress said that it was “unfortunate”.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Jairam said, “We have read the letter of veteran Congress leader Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad that has been released to the media.
“It is most unfortunate that this has happened at a time when Congress President Smt Sonia Gandhi, Shri Rahul Gandhi, and the entire party organization is involved in fighting the BJP on public issues of mehangai, berozgaari, and polarisation and when final preparations are being made for the Mehangai par Hallo Bol rally in New Delhi on Sept 4th and for the launch of the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari on Sept 7th,” he said.

Azad had earlier resigned as the head of the Congress campaign committee in J&K. This was followed by some of his loyalists resigning from Congress.
He has blasted Rahul Gandhi and his coterie for the dismal performance of the party and termed the entire organizational election process a “farce and a sham” as the party is going to decide on the schedule of internal elections. He accused the CWC members of humiliating him after the G-23 leaders wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi.
